The Lost Dragoon. It is not generally known, that underneath the walls of Trinity College, Dublin, there is a range of gloomy vaults, in which are entombed many of the illustrious dead of the Irish capital. This cemetry has been for many years shut up ; and «bout the time when it began to.be disused, the melancholy .and-afFecting circumstance happened which we are now going to relate. Au officer of the 4tli Dragoons, who had enjoyed the anec.ions of a fair Hibernian maid, and vvhilst every pre- paration was making for that consummation most devoutly to be wished for by an attached and youthful pair, chanced to be on guard at the Castle. Lounging about in his uniform, and exhibiting to the admiring eyes-ol'many a love-siclf'dam- sel his handsome person, set o If with alp ** The pomp and panoply of glorious war," a funeral procession passed'him ; and seeing that the remains of some person of conséquence were about lo he consigned to their parent earth in a private and unostentatious m...

Street Preaching. This practice is carried to an incredible extent in the vici- nity of London. On Sunday last (August 23) a fertile sub- ject presented itself for peripatetic eloquence, in the fair to beholden on Camberwell Green. HunJ-bills were distri- buted in the neighbourhood, containing a solemn remonstrance against attending this place of ungodly revelry ; and urging the faithful, and those ' who were balancing between good and evil, to avoid giving encouragement by their presence to such wickedness. The following speech was uttered by one of these preachers, in the Camberwell Hoad, with a dramatic' euee I that was ¡rrcstible :--" Now, my deat heaters, I'll sup- pose that one of you-Ijdon't care whether it is a man or a woman, girl or boy, was thiuking'of Camberwell fair-mind it's the Devil that's driving you lo if, and he whispers in your ear, ' Tom or Mary,' as the case may be, ' won't you go to the fair V An angel on the other side answers, ' no, you must not-'tis a bad p...

Supreme Court. ' f^Vow dm Launceston Advertiser.) May 26--Wiljiniit Thomas was chiiged with the wilful murder ol John \\ arne, rnmlnouly known by the name o Sinutlg Taik. The Attorney-Ceiieral declined saving much in the opening of the case, but pioceeded to call witnesses, who proved linn Warne and Thomas vtare together in town, and that they left town together. A Mr. Biowu proved that Thomas fitted a a flint irtto the gun and primed it, before he left town, hut this waa in consequence of the flint and pruning having been taken out lo prevent the children shooting themselves. Messrs Hinksman, Johnson, and Glaire, the constables who apprehended Thomas, weie then called, but as John son's evidence was the best given and clearest, and as they all went together, except in very trilling points, we shall only give Johnson's evidence. Thomas Johnson -"I was a constable in 1S29 I rcmem ber going to watch with Mr Hinksman, on the 14th April, al night, near Mis. Townsend s house SS e heard t...

Aborigines. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The atrocities of the Aboriginal tribes still continue. On the 28th May, Mr. Adey's shepherds, at Swan Port River, Eastern Marshes, whilst looking for sheep observed a party of these savages of apparently about 200 in number, when they instantly returned to the hut, which was found to have been plundered. There was a blanket on the floor, with about 30lbs. of sugar scattered upon it; the man-trap that had been left set, was found let off, showing that the former disaster by the same instrument had been remembered, and &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the intruders had taken means to avoid any injurious conse- quences from it. Previous to leaving the hut in the morning &amp;nbsp; the men had taken the precaution to carry away a knapsack filled with their clothes and various articles, such as sheep shears, &amp;c., and had planted them, as it is called, in a secret part of the bush, but these the natives had ...
